1993 Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0L Petrol · JBZ 6211

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass on 14 February 2026 at 94,799 miles. The maintenance trend appears currently stable after a period of instability in mid-2024. While the car suffered two consecutive failures in June and July 2024, the subsequent pass without any recorded defects indicates that the identified faults were addressed and the vehicle was brought back to a compliant operating standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,873 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the April 2023 test at 87,924 miles and the July 2024 test at 94,766 miles, where only 6,842 miles were covered over fifteen months. This suggests the car sits for long periods, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and brake system corrosion rather than mechanical wear from use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the areas that likely caused the dual failures during the 2024 tests. Although the record does not list the specific mechanical reasons for those failures, the low-use nature of the Caval often masks seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, or split seals. Given the vehicle's age, close attention is required for structural integrity in the sills, floor pans, and wing arches to ensure that long-term storage has not compromised the chassis despite the low mileage.
